Very exciting list - I totally want to be in the macaron-of-the-month club.
But, really, people are excited to get oranges? I think maybe I'm spoiled, living in Florida. The ground is like, littered with oranges here. And I don't even like oranges! Good for baking a chocolate orange cake, though.

@isabelarcher2: It's really weird how people refer to any and every book as a "novel", regardless of its contents. Like, no, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is not a novel...
@bajita: That is incredibly fascinating! I have never thought about Jesus outside of the historically male sense. Though I have heard of "Christophony" (or however you spell it), when he makes an appearance before he's actually existed in bodily form, it had never occurred to me to think about his gender.
Thank you so much for bringing this up! I am totally going to talk about this with my family over the holidays (I come from a long line of theologians).

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Also, Jens Lekman always makes me happy.

@envirodesigner: Oh yes. Teacher just kinda said, "yeah...sure..."
@tiredfairy: True story, as relayed to me through a mutual friend: high school teacher assigns "Brave New World" to class, parent objects and wants alternate book for her daughter. Teacher says "Animal Farm", mother says, "oh, that's a cute one about animals! That'll work."
@Cher_Horowitz: It's Gob!
My apologies if someone has posted this already, but I didn't see it on the first few GT pages.

@imatorso: OH MY GOD - she looks just like old pictures of my mother. This is freaking me out.

@NewsBunny: Hmm....she could be jumping on the trendy thing. This is only a small, small part of her job, though. She's a nursing coordinator, or something along those lines for the college, so she's definitely not expendable.

@SmaženýSýr: I don't think so, but I suppose it's possible. Oh lord, the inane things people send out to the whole college...I don't understand it, never will.

@malishka: Hmmm...possibly. I'm on the new side, so maybe this is an issue that people talk about openly, or like a "pet cause" or something. I don't know. Still seems on the weird side.

Guys, tell me if this is as weird as I think it is. Every month, all employees get an email from the Health & Wellness committee with a short newsletter from our health insurer. General living healthy stuff, mostly. This month, the woman who chairs the Health & Wellness committee wrote a little note in the body section of the email, instead of just sending out the newsletter. Note reads, "Be sure to read the article on page 4 called 'Taming the Beast: How to Avoid Overeating'". I can't figure out why on earth she would write that. Presumably, people who cared in the first place would read the newsletter (which is only 4 pages long, it's not like the article could get lost in the shuffle). And! I read the article - it's not insightful, nor does it contain new information. Is she trying to shame the entire college? Implying we compulsively overeat? Has she been scrutinizing people in the cafeteria?
Back me up here, guys. I'm not offended or anything, just confused.

@Blodwynn: Yeah, where are they hiding Ripert?! That was a major selling point for this season!
I kinda like Kelly, but I can't totally figure out why. She comes off as completely serious and humorless.

@cookerybookery: Well, there's not a market for public librarians, but there's a market for other types of librarians. I still see postings for new jobs constantly. Have you been looking at library job postings? I'd recommend looking at some job descriptions to get a feel of what they're looking for, and the kinds of things you'd be doing. I also recommend getting some internship/volunteer experience in a library.
I do different things every day. It's never the same. I love it. In the library field, it really depends on your supervisor/director. If she/he is old-fashioned, it's going to be more boring. Libraries are constantly changing, so libraries with good directors who let their librarians be creative are really, really innovative.

@cookerybookery: I'm a librarian at a community college. Why are you scared you'd be bored? There are a million things to do. Getting a job at a University Library is tough (especially now), as they typically like candidates who have 2 master's degrees.
